Evensong (novel)

Evensong is a 1932 novel by the British writer Beverley Nichols. It was inspired by the life of the opera singer Nellie Melba, whom Nichols had known during her later years.^[1] The same year, Nichols collaborated with Edward Knoblock on a play version, a major hit in the West End.

In 1934, the story was adapted into a film of the same title by Gainsborough Pictures. Directed by Victor Saville, it starred Evelyn Laye in the lead role.^[2]
